inspired prints from l’affiche moderne

i am truly enjoying the wonderful contemporary print, illustration and photo works offered at the french online shop l’affiche moderne. their pieces are strictly limited to editions of 300, and feature an eclectic inventory filled with the bright talents of folks including anthony peters, mathilde aubier, véronique joffre, cyril auvity, limoon, franck juery and nod young (pictured in order, below).

lucky for us they ship overseas too. 🙂

they are adding inventory regularly, so pop over and see what is for sale on their website.

the art of emily wick

i like maps, and what fun style we have here from artist emily wick. this linocut series of state mottoes she’s created would definitely make for some fun gift giving. to myself.

this reminds me a little of those awesome neighborhood map posters from jenny beorkrem. except these are much, much different.

see more of emily’s work here, where you will find a lot of other wonderful lino prints and some paintings too.

rock paper scissors = doodlage by rashell

lots of pretty little details on this rock paper scissors series of collectible objects and embellished prints from rashell aka etsy seller doodlage. rahsell calls it the rock paper scissors collection because she started out doodling on rocks to create keepsakes, then decided to create prints from other original drawings and them layers the prints with handcoloring, assorted media and delicate japanese papers (hence the scissors).

see lots more at rashell’s etsy shop and say hello to her on her blog too.

plate ink paper monotypes and etchings

What is up with these cool and mysterious etchings, limited edition linocuts and monotypes (one-off prints) from Portland artist Carol Berryhill for her PlateInkPaper shop? I don’t know, but in this work is the beautiful sadness. There’s a lot of tension in these pieces, forlorn people, dignified resignation and themes of distress, and I like it. Those types of qualities are what (I think) make a collection memorable.

See more of Carol’s work on her website and Etsy shop.

eveline tarunadjaja illustration

This richly detailed, feminine styled and themed illustration work by Australian-based artist Eveline Tarunadjaja is making me dizzy. I want to trace all the lines in some of these pieces back to a single genesis and get lost trying to do it. It is simply lovely.

You can see more work from Eveline on her blog and website. Her shop is closed for a few weeks (until November 23rd, 2008), but if you need to purchase right away, you can pick up some of her prints at modamuse.
